Dao Fruit

"Oracle?"

As soon as these two words came through, the slightly out-of-control situation suddenly changed.

The aggressive Confucian scholars were shocked, their minds became clearer, and they all followed the sound.

What came into view was a fast horse galloping over. The man on the horse was the censor of Jiannan Road, Li Qi!

Seeing that the crowd was calm, Li Qi pulled the reins, and the horse slowed down and came ticking over. When he was between the crowd and Qiu Yan, he turned over and looked left and right.

Then, Li Qi flicked his clothes, turned around and looked at Qiu Yan, and said, "The emperor has an oral message that I want to tell Qiu Yan."

When Qiu Yan heard this, he was not surprised. He took a step forward, raised his arms, and bowed: "The student is Qiu Yan."

Holy edicts are words spoken by the emperor about something or a certain person. They are generally of a judgmental nature. Once the golden words are spoken, it is tantamount to sealing the coffin.

Seeing the imperial edict is equivalent to seeing the emperor, and you have to pay a big courtesy. However, Qiu Yan was originally a scholar, and now he has to understand the Yuan Dynasty. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, but there is no distinction between master and servant, so there is no need to kneel down.

Li Qi nodded, walked to Qiu Yan, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty said, 'I heard that there are scholars in Sichuan who can decide the southwest with one strategy and are talented people for the country.'"

Qiu Yan respectfully thanked him, and his every move was calm and calm. The expression on his face fell into the eyes of Zhang Zhen and others, which immediately aroused the exclamation of several people.

When they thought of Qiu Yan's words just now, they immediately felt that Qiu Yan was enveloped in a mysterious aura, as if they had expected this.

Of course, Qiu Yan was aware of the effect of his military strategy. Now that the southwest was pacified, the credit for pacifying the southwest fell to the observers and censors. As vested interests, they naturally wanted to safeguard the military strategy. Then to defend Qiu Yan, they will not let others criticize them. To defend Qiu Yan is to protect their own achievements.

What's more, the first place in the provincial examination was definitely not obtained by fraud, but by real merit.

A volume of military strategy calmed the military disaster, saved several counties, severely damaged the Marsh people, and laid the foundation for complete conquest in the future. It was more likely to cause the Fan people to suffer a big loss. In the end, several officials shared the benefits and gained military exploits.

Compared with such an "examination paper", how can other splendid articles, even if they are full of flowers, be superior to them?

Even the emperor was aware of this military strategy and gave it criticism. If this article is not ranked first, how can other articles be qualified to be above it?

Such a result. It cannot be changed by just a few failed candidates gathering together to cause trouble.

Therefore, the reason why Qiu Yan was so calm in the face of the excited crowd was not because of his self-cultivation. Rather, he expected that there were people who would have a harder time enduring this matter than him. The arrival of the Holy Edict was not due to Qiu Yan's luck, but to the general situation. What is bound to happen, even if there is no oracle, will take other forms. Even if it is not the censor, there will be other officials who will come forward to stop it.

As soon as Li Qi said these words, many failed candidates were stunned on the spot.

"The Holy Spirit's oral instructions are praising Qiu Yan?"

"What's going on? How did the officials know Qiu Yan's name?"

"Didn't you say that Qiu Yan was able to obtain Jieyuan by observing the envoy? How come the Holy One was involved?"

They talked in low voices, but no one dared to speak out.

On the opposite side, after Qiu Yan thanked him, Li Qi turned around and yelled at the crowd: "You are making noise in front of the Gongyuan. Not only are you insulting the gentlemen and violating the teachings of the saints, but you are also violating the law. Don't you know? The laws of the country?”

These words came from the mouth of a censor, and they were extremely powerful. The censor already held the Constitution, and even the observers could participate in it, let alone scholars like them?

Just like that, the morale and momentum of the entire crowd dropped, but Li Qi's figure seemed to be much taller, with a faint power surging around him, making people dare not look directly at him.

This scene fell into Qiu Yan's eyes, but he had another feeling.

"The human thoughts gathered by the scholars were extremely turbulent, but they were not as powerful as the imperial censor Li Qi. This person's momentum not only contained official aura, but was protected by dragon energy, as well as several other kinds of luck, which were twisted into one. In terms of purity and concentration, it far exceeds the human thoughts of all candidates. Once you stand, your aura will occupy one area, and when you speak, your luck will rise and fall immediately, suppressing everyone on the opposite side. This is humane! A great feature!”

Just when Qiu Yan changed his mind, Li Qi said again: "You still haven't left? Are you still feeling lucky?"

He didn't explain much, he just scolded him. He faced hundreds of people, but he didn't show any fear and remained calm. On the contrary, many failed candidates were frightened.

"Even the emperor praised Qiu Yan and said that he is a wise man in the country, so how can we question it? What's the use of questioning it?"

Thinking of this, they lost their courage and lost their previous courage. The crowd began to disperse. The surrounding soldiers wanted to catch the leader, but they were stopped by Li Qi: "Failed in the imperial examination, it is inevitable to have ups and downs in your heart. Fortunately, there was no trouble." It’s an accident, but it won’t happen again.”

After hearing this, all the candidates' emotions suddenly changed, and they thanked Li Qi one after another. The thoughts of the people gathered above also changed, and some of them gathered towards Li Qi. Qiu Yan was amazed, and one word emerged in his heart -

Turning your hands over becomes clouds, turning over your hands becomes rain.

So, before the storm even started, it was calmed down by one person and a few words.

Qiu Yan stepped forward to thank him.

Li Qi turned around and smiled: "No need to thank me, I have also read your military strategy. It is indeed a rare and good strategy. Even without the military disaster in the southwest, it would be easy to win Jieyuan."

His words were full of goodwill. Although he didn't show too much intimacy, Qiu Yan could see the intention to win over him from his tone and expression.

Qiu Yan then talked to him and suddenly said: "This incident was not an accident. There were signs before. It was deliberately arranged by someone. The Censor is responsible for the performance evaluation of officials, candidates and students, and he has explored many changes in Shilin. Do you know the mystery behind this?”

"Oh?" Li Qi's expression changed slightly and he glanced at Qiu Yan in surprise, "Is there still this? I'm going to check it out when I get back." After saying this, he skipped the topic and gave Qiu Yan a few more words of encouragement. Then he said goodbye and left.

Looking at Li Qi's back, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and thought again.

He naturally knew the cause of this turmoil. Although the situation is always under control, the person behind the scenes who has evil thoughts must be retaliated against.

Revenge is not to be narrow-minded, but to set an example by others. Otherwise, giving in blindly will only tolerate and support traitors. This is the same as interacting with others and leading a leader. Only by clearing grudges and grudges can you improve your personality.

After Li Qi left, Zhang Zhen and others gathered around him, with the censor just beside him. Many of them were evasive. The censor, unlike other officials, had the power and responsibility to supervise and report, which was the most feared. Not to mention ordinary officials, even officials and scholars did not dare to take it lightly. If there was a slight mistake, it might be It means losing your reputation.

After a few people came over. A few more people came not far away.

"My Excellency Gao Jing, congratulations to Qiu Jieyuan." The leader was a man in simple clothes and an ordinary appearance. There is a natural feeling between his words and deeds. It is Gao Jing from Xingyuan Prefecture who came second in this provincial examination.

"Brother Qiu, congratulations." Gao Jing followed behind. It was Gu Yanzhi and several others, all with happy faces and rosy eyebrows. It looked like a red star shining high.

These people are all the candidates for this high school.

Being selected as a candidate means that you have an official status, you are considered a reserve official, and you can be awarded an official position. Normally when people call you a candidate, they often add the word "Master" after it.

People in sedan chairs carry people, and candidates who have passed the examination in the same year are considered to be in the same year, so they will inevitably form cliques, so that they can look after each other in the officialdom in the future. Qiu Yan, as Jieyuan, is almost certain to become a Jinshi, and has a bright future. Of course, other candidates will come to make friends with him.

However, just after winning the exam, everyone was immersed in joy and hurried back, so they exchanged a few words and became acquainted. They agreed to visit the teacher together in two days and then left separately.

"Let's go back to the inn first."

After Zhou Yi dispersed, Guan and Luo Jiayun restrained their joy, glanced at the silent Zhang Zhen, and made a suggestion.

Qiu Yan nodded, and then said: "You go back first, I have something to do."

Several other people agreed without asking any more questions.

After a few people left, Qiu Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he activated the Spiritual Eye Technique.

The next moment, the scene in the field of vision changed drastically. The surroundings and the sky were filled with dense shadows, like spider webs, all around the Gongyuan, connecting everywhere and collecting information about the surroundings.

These shadows are as long and thin as silk, with faint fluctuations of divine power.

Qiu Yan stepped forward and passed through a silk thread quietly, feeling the changes in the divine power inside, and understood clearly in his heart.

"River God? That's right. It's impossible for the Yin Division not to pay attention to something as big as the provincial examination results."

Walking on the streets, Qiu Yan could clearly feel that with the end of the imperial examination, the power of Shinto in the city that had been suppressed by Wen Qi was rapidly recovering.

"This Jiannan Dao Shensi is quite powerful. If you want to fight against it, it will be impossible overnight. However, I have won the election. From now on, I will be free from many worries. I can use many things to expand my influence. When I become famous in the world, Just like Ma Yang and Li Qi, who gather the people's wishes with one word, there is no need to worry even if Lu Liang returns to the third rank!"

Thinking about it, he took steps and blended into the crowd on the street.

………………

Yuexia Restaurant, a private inn.

Fang Ziyan was drinking alone. The book boy had just informed him of the rankings on the list.

"Fourteenth..."

Chewing on this ranking, Fang Ziyan's face gradually darkened, and his emotions fluctuated, as if he was brewing something.

Sudden! He stood up suddenly and smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.

Snap!

Debris flew.

"If I hadn't been influenced by Qiu Yan and had stains on the roll, how could I have been demoted with my talent!"

Others would be satisfied as long as they win the exam, but for Fang Ziyan, ranking is the key.

"Gu Yanzhi, Gao Jing... are all above me, and Qiu Yan is actually Jieyuan! Jieyuan! Qi Zhengyuan really dares to give! Think the old party can cover the sky with one hand? I don't need to take part in this matter, as long as I arrange people, it will be done It can mobilize the unwillingness of those who rise and fall, and then..."

Fang Ziyan was just thinking when a knock on the door suddenly sounded in the room, and the voice of Mr. Li, a diner at the Yushi Mansion, came through the door——

"Master Fang, I'm here to send a message..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
